The impact of "Blood is Coming" is self-evident, even more shocking than last year's "Perfume" that surprised the entire awards season. Because "Perfume" is about the turmoil in Europe, which seems to be a country 108,000 miles away from the United States. The alternation and turmoil between feudal society and capitalism that took place there may also exist in the United States, but after all, it is not "America's Past" "It's "Once Upon a Time in Europe". Therefore, no matter how deep the "perfume" is, its influence on the North American market is still limited.

But this time is different. "The Blood Will Come" tells the story of the United States, the story of the 1920s, the living history of western development, the blood and tears of development, the confrontation between capital expansion and religious forces. The oil tycoon of Plevy has a shocking epic masterpiece.

In the old mountain year, the then 25-year-old film master Orson-Wells wrote, directed and starred in a biographical film "Citizen Kane", which opened with the death of a newspaper tycoon Kane. Through his life experience and the rise and fall of his career, he witnessed a complex truth under the myth of capitalism.

"Citizen Kane" is arguably the most important experimental film in the history of American cinema, known as "a monument to modern cinema", and it has great popularity in almost all movie rankings, and is regarded as one of the "four major films in the history of cinema". "A well-deserved champion and number one classic. This pure film epic is a film with a high degree of condensed life, a deep understanding of human nature and society, and a rational experience of the psychological world. It abandoned the prevailing film dollar principle at the time, and conceived a novel elevation lens and a simple and expressive film. Powerful depth shots, etc., completely changed the traditional way of filming in Hollywood and became the pinnacle of countless filmmakers in later generations.

Until today, sixty-six years later, "Citizen Kane" has always been one of the top ten best films in the world selected by major film chores. Most of the reasons are because of Orson Welles' bold innovation in shooting methods, but it is undeniable that this film reflects the profound connotation of the entire era through the life of a newspaper tycoon is also amazing.

It can be said that "Citizen Kane" is undoubtedly very esoteric. When it was released, film critics did not fully understand the value of this film. Although it was praised, it has never been able to reach a peak and become famous. At the Oscars, it is only a golden man who won only one best original screenplay. Then, as time went on, the value of "Citizen Kane" was gradually reflected, and it became the top work of regret in Oscar history.

In the past 60 years or so, there have been countless works that have used biographies to reflect historical changes. Among them, "Forrest Gump" has also reached a new peak, but works that have reached the height of "Citizen Kane" have never been able to appear again. . And this time, after the release of "There Will Be Blood", "Citizen Kane of the 21st Century", Chris Fair Punk of "Film Review", pushed the film to a new height!

"Orson Welles filmed 'Citizen Kane' at 25; Evan Bell filmed 'Blood Will Come' at 25!" Chris… Fair Punk this time More open than the always hard-edged Neil Darcy Both the title and the opening words have pushed Evan Bell to a new level.

"There is no doubt that the twenty-five-year-old Evan ... Bell has brought us too many surprises, 'Blood Will Come' is only the sixth work he directed, but looking back on his directorial career makes me All the words of praise are pale. Three months ago, a wanton swaying 'Wild Survival' was still lingering in our minds, and now, a repressed 'The Blood Is Coming' is in our hearts again Credibility is ignited in the depths of the soul.

Evan Bell used his talent to dedicate to us a **** history of capitalist expansion and a reality show in which human nature struggles and destroys itself.

Evan Bell's age has always been a source of concern, Stanley Kubrick at thirty-seven was just a 'young director' who had just shown his talent in Hollywood for the film noir 'Killer's Kiss' "But Evan-Bell has become a member of the Oscar director's hall that cannot be ignored. He has been nominated for the Best Director Award for three consecutive years, making Evan-Bell a proud existence in the director's ranks. This prematurely revealed. Talent and premature achievement are disturbing enough, but the depth and purity of 'The Blood Will Come' makes us realize: it's a necessity.

'There Will Be Blood', an adaptation of Upton's 1927 novel 'Petroleum', features only two characters, Daniel Prevey and Eli Sandy, in the lens of Evan Bell. , and all the other characters exist to complement these two characters.

One started his fortune as a taciturn miner and became an oil tycoon who covered the sky; the other, with the help of the expansion of religious power and excellent eloquence, went from a poor son of a poor peasant family to a famous priest.

Daniel works hard to run his own oil business; he is wise, alert, and calm. In order to achieve his goals, he will not compromise on means. When this ambition expands to a certain extent, it begins to gradually devour the positive energy in human nature. Anything that stands in the way of success The previous obstacles will be smashed mercilessly, and even after the arrival of success, this ambition has not been satisfied and disappeared, plundering has become a habit, life itself, and eventually out of control.

Eli, a gentle and polite priest on the surface, hides under the performances of exorcism again and again, is it not the wolf's ambition to control and dominate everything? He made full use of the kindness and ignorance of the residents of the town, relied on his excellent eloquence and acting talent to control the whole town and applauded, and finally even left Little Boston to open up a wider world.

In the lens of Evan Bell, through the three physical conflicts between Daniel and Eli, the confrontation between the two forces in the film is pushed to a climax step by step. The capital force represented by Daniel and the religious force represented by Eli have been in constant confrontation all the time. Like any political force, they compete with each other, but they also depend on each other. They share economic or political interests. In front of him, the mortal enemy of the previous second can also instantly put down their weapons and shake hands to cooperate. The double cruelty of economic development and social change, in the camera, rides the wheel of history with ups and downs, crushing all obstacles. This is epic.

But the reason why 'There Will Be Blood' is so good is that at the end of the movie, both Daniel and Eli lost control, and the physical conflict between the two pushed all emotions to a climax, and finally ended with Eli **** on the spot. This makes the movie return to the fundamentals of human nature from the epic level, and draws a period to the story. In real life, capital forces and religious forces do not exist, but in the hearts of Daniel and Eli, the pulling of good and evil by human nature has a result. The phrase 'I'm done' is so poignant.

Aegon Bell calmly integrates his own perception of history and discussion of human nature into the storytelling. He won't tell you any big truth, and he won't tell you what is right and what is wrong. All the stories are so cold and objective that one can't help shivering. But it is this objectivity that makes the epic a masterpiece!

In addition, as we all know, Evan Bell is an excellent music creator, but this time, Evan deliberately adopted a relatively primitive film language. For example, the whole plot is coherent with a large number of long shots; for example, those suffocating sounds coming from hell, pure classical music such as violin, cello, piano, etc. have become mainstream, and even bold use of some unusual alternatives The method of music and soundtrack stimulates the senses of the audience both visually and aurally.

In that impressive oil well fire, the sorcery music that seemed to come from ancient tribesmen beaten with dead skulls ran through the fire until the next day when the fire was extinguished and another scene began. After a long period of time, this director's music still did not stop, but continued stubbornly. It is conceivable that the use of this music is not only used to enhance the atmosphere of the scene, it is actually the **** roar from the deepest part of Daniel Prevey's heart, which has been calling this ambitious man to step by step. Devil's arms. But it was the audience who were frightened.

In fact, if you ponder Daniel Prevey's related soundtrack carefully, you can find that the sound of the soul being torn by force fills the first half of his rise~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and enters the final part of the film, Daniel Prevey Levi had acquired enough wealth that the music quietly disappeared, replaced by a repressed and closed silence. This change undoubtedly shows a true meaning: Daniel has given up his struggle and has fallen into darkness. He lives a reclusive and alcoholic life in the huge gloomy manor, except for the occasional monotony that he is shooting the living room with a shotgun. The sound of furniture breaking, there was silence.

Evan's perfect control of the soundtrack has reached a new peak after "Brokeback Mountain" and "Perfume". Every melody, even a simple musical instrument sound, can achieve the effect of contrast.

There is no doubt that Evan Bell has mastered the ability to make tragic myths into film, and his camera can be full of warmth, even the tragedy of Baptiste-Grenoye still brings tears to the eyes ; But at the same time, his camera can also be full of darkness. In Daniel Prevey, a character with profound modernity, he perfectly interprets the significance of evil humanity in human life. Evan and Bell's portrayal and excavation of the characters' psychology is astounding.

"There Will Be Blood" can be called the "Citizen Kane" of the 21st century, and Evan Bell has easily stepped into the ranks of the greatest directors in the world!"
